injection regime and the fracturing gel can vary within wide limits, both the ma gistral and fractal modes of crack propagation can be realized in the same material. This leads to the ma in conclusion of the wo rk - in any numerica l, and also experimental, modeling, the set of characteristic parameters of the problem should be chosen so that dimensionless parameters correspond to reservoir conditions. Otherwise, the results of the work would not be possible to ext rapolate under the reservoir conditions, and the work in many ways would lose its practical value.
